under 25 days Under 25 days to go and panic has started to set in over packing and our costumes for MNSSHP. Im starting to think we wont do costumes at all even though this was the BIG deal for this trip (as if any of us needs a reason to go to Disney) the hassle of finding something suitable to fly down with, comfortable to wear in the parks etc is just starting to be a pain. Steve has started to jump in and help Im glad of that.

We got our new camera last night for the trip, an early gift to the other half, he is thrilled.

We have started putting a box of stuff for the trip in the other room, I hope this will make packing easier and makes sure we dont pack up all our summer stuff for the winter before our trip. I am always right at the weight limit with my luggage so I am being very mindful of that this trip. We are taking a longer trip so its harder, guess we will do laundry one day and ship some stuff home. Anyone tried shipping stuff FROM Disney?

counting down 51 days and I am starting to spaz out, you would think that a grown woman whos been a few times before would "get over" the need for my happy place but NOPE I gotta go to the House of the Mouse...HOME! I just seem to love it MORE each time I go.

Seems like they are doing a lot of work on various rides and attractions this Fall not to mention places to eat. I know I will miss Spaceship Earth this time but Im already planning the 08 trip so I will see it again. Oh speaking of trips my dear other half was brow beat into buying us 10 more days of unexpired park hoppers before the price went up so I KNOW we will go again before too long.

How do you manage to wait and wait 109 days...double digit dance here I come! 109 days so close yet so freaking far when I wanted to be waking up at AKL NOW haha

When you have a trip coming up, maybe not even a trip to the House of the Mouse, how do you pass the time? We get a bit of Pixie dust now and then from watching programs on the parks or hotels that we have DVR'd or maybe we will play some Disney online radio stations to hear the rides but some days it just seems to drag. How do you do it and keep the excitement up?

Course then you have the problem of its over too fast but thats a topic for another day

Ear Worm I have had the Tiki Room song playing in my head for a couple of days now, yes corny as hell but sure keeps one full of bounce in the office. I think I am going to have to pull up the real music when I get home and see if I can get rid of this song in my head
